glaucuus lihu' iliscal luiniles uf the upperside of the liiiuhviiii; staml isolated, while 

 ill the /?Mo/cs from other jjarts of New Guinea the lunules are merged together 

 with the rest of the discal glaucous scaling. 



Arn J J (? ? are uukuown to us) agree with New Guinea s))ecimeus. 



The individuals from New Britain (Neu Poraniern) and Duke of York Island 

 (Neu Lauenburg) have the snbraarginal dots of the upperside of the forewing rather 

 often very small in c?, especially the posterior ones, which are sometimes obliterated: 

 the admarginal triangular j)ale glaucous blue spots are also mostly smaller than 

 ID ordinary New Guinea specimens ; the discal lunules of the same colour arc^ 

 more often isolated ; the discal spots of the hindwing below deeper red, the ni)])('r 

 ones generally externally more obviously bordered black, and the snbmarginal black 

 dots a little heavier. In ? the subinarginal spots of the hindwing above are glaucous, 

 without white centres. These slight dili'erences do not hold good in all examples, 

 not even in the larger proportion of the individuals which have been examined. The 

 name oi hronos must, therefore, be treated as a synonym tti /'(j/iter. 



The only si)ecimen (?) known to ns from Neu Hannover has the discal sj)ots of 

 the underside of the hindwing much more yellowish red ihim jxjjiter ; the spots 

 S(J- — K' are bordered black externally : the discal glaucous lunules of the upperside 

 are rather heavy, but stand isolated. 



In the tint of the discal yellowish red spots the Neu Hannover examjile agrees 

 fairly well with the tive specimens from the D'Entrecasteaux and Trobriand Islands, 

 which are as large as the largest New Guinea individuals, have the discal glaucous 

 lunules of the hindwing thin and isolated, and tlie white median patch W — 51' of 

 the underside of the hindwing standing farther away from the discal line than in 

 ordinary /'7>//(!/'. In one of the two Fergusson Island ? ? the median spot R- — W 

 of the upperside of the forewing just touches the large median i)atch R^ — M'. The 

 ground-colour of the nuderside is in all five examples more yellowish than in New 

 Guinea specimens.
